Just watched Papa Joe speak on Griner release. Soo enraging to listen to the female reporter at the end scream out questions that were basically (what about Whelan), going for that "gotcha" moment. I'm now predicting that right-wing media and Fox with take this down a dark path filled with racism or anything else to make this a bad thing. Fox will be mad that the black and LGBTQ girl got out before Whelan, BET.
@ArcturusSaDiablo I'd like to say I'm shocked (that they are ALREADY) but I'm not, sadly. I bet the cesspool of racism called Twitter is ablaze as we speak.
@StephanieResists They absolutely will and they're idiots. I forgot am not supposed to call people idiots. They're uninformed.
I could go on at length why these are not the same. It involves security for engineering firms that make a certain electric vehicle part that is only made by one company in Michigan and is on every Tesla and every electric vehicle in the world. And suddenly showed up on Russian vehicles providing electric to weapons systems in Syria. Whelan was working for this company.
@StephanieResists This doesn't even touch his dealing in firearms and cultivating relationships with Russian military. And his clearing mostly women to come here to work for this company. All of this is easily found. All been reported on. Afaik Britney doesn't even speak Russian. So you can see why it might be completely different.
@StephanieResists
They already have. I'm seeing things elsewhere that the GOP is just absolutely seething about it.
